Hey Y'all, Seems my Skype installation has stopped working. I have skype-4.3.0.37-2.el6.i686.rpm from the Nux repo. [mlapier at peach ~]$ skype %U (<unknown>:27070): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" I

Hey Y'all, I though I would resurrect a long dead mail chain. I'm looking for a good replacement for Rhythmbox. I need a pod catcher to catch podcasts and download them to my HD where I can then move them onto my mp3 player that I take to work every day. I don't need a new mp3 player so don't suggest VLC. It is not able to download podcasts. I'm in the process of

Hey Y'all, I have a yum update failure that remains consistent and repeatable. This is what happens every time I try to update the java package. This a new computer with a fresh network install of CentOS 6.10. How can I fix this?

Hey Y'all, What replaced Gstreamer and Mplayer in CentOS 8. RPM finder finds both for CentOS 6 and 7 but not 8. There must be a replacement for them but I don't know what. I appear to be having codec issues but, not knowing what's supposed to handle the jobs that the two programs used to do, I don't know where to look for a commercial set of codecs compatible with the

Hey Y'all, Does anyone know where I can look, please post a URL, where I can find out what the minimum system requirements are for CentOS 6.4? I've searched the CentOS.org web site for this but I've come up empty. I've got an old machine that had RH9 on it. The HD died so I had to replace that. Now I'm thinking that I want to install CentOS 6.4 on it but the minimal install

Hey Y'all, I'm trying to mount a USB drive with an NTFS file system on it. I need the drive in a win-7 virtual box instance. Error Dialog is: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 18: Error opening '/dev/sdc1': Read-only file system Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Read only file system [root at mushroom /]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | grep usb lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root

Hey Y'all, I've been trying for months to get samba to share my printer with my wife's Win XP machine. I've RTFM, and spent hours on google to no avail. I can't see the printer from Windows so I can't mount it up. Nothing appears in the logs. The file shares work just fine. It looks like I've got Samba 3.6.9 on this machine: [mlapier at mushroom samba]$ rpm -qa

Hey Y'all, After upgrade to 6.6 my gui will not start. The problem is probably related to the dusty old video card I've got in this crusty old machine. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a2) I've got the proprietary drivers installed. Normally when I update my kernel the video module is rebuilt automagically. That probably doesn't

Hey Y'all, I'm looking at ZCad: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zcad/?source=directory It looks like the kind of 3D CAD package that I've been looking for. It says that it works on Linux but it's zipped with 7-Zip which doesn't seem to be available for CentOS. Does anyone know if ZCAD or 7-Zip is packaged for CentOS X86-64 somewhere out there? -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^

Hey Y'all, About a week ago my Skype installation stopped working. I can start it up but I can't log on. Does this have something to do with the recent update to LibC? Is there a repo som where that has the latest version of Skype for CentOS 6.5? When I go to the Skype web site I see that there is a version several versions newer available for RPM based Linux but that one won't

Hey Y'all, Recently my sound has been misbehaving. The issue exists when I play sound using Rhythmbox, Totem Movie Player, or even Youtube video in Firefox or Chrome. The sound stutters and drops out. Sounds very rough. On Youtube the sound will eventually just die and can not be restarted until the browser is shut down and restarted. I've had issues related to Repo Forge

Hey Y'all, I'm trying to turn off the kernel screen blanker that shuts off the video after about 10 minutes of inactivity at the keyboard. After extensive googling I've found two ways to *NOT* do it. In my home .xinitrc setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 xset s off In /etc/rc.local /usr/bin/setterm -powersave off -blank 0 I've tried both to no effect. Of course

Hey Y'all, I got a package update notice this evening for package augeas-libs. As is my practice I figured I would check to see if I needed the package or if I could just delete it thus obviating the need to install the upgrade. This is what yum has to say about the package and it's sole dependency. Dependencies Resolved

Hey All, Is it safe to allow the 193 series kernel update now? Last time I tried that my system refused to boot. I had to roll back to the 4.18.0-147 kernel to get my machine to reboot. Since that happened I've been watching this mail list for acknowledgement that the problem has been corrected while refusing the kernel update. I may have missed the announcement that the issue was
